I’ve stumbled in and out of memories of you like a rebel child failing to leave well enough alone only to get caught in a labyrinth of distractions; even pretending you’re still here- speaking in your distinctive accented voice until the silence overcomes and harshly reminds me that you’re gone. Then that clinically cold and eerie feeling of realization comes to life but reluctance lingers for a bit as I sit alone like a shadow at night and slowly return to my self-awareness.It can be hard to evade the fragments of another when it’s all you have left to slip under like a favorite blanket, despite how many torn fringes and holes time has bestowed it. Still avoiding in asking that ominous question; what will become of me if this aging blanket is ever…lost?

I’m a deep visualizing poet creating particular facets, not only line by line, but even the shades and innuendo's between them; to the point that, I can get so comfortably caught up in my imaginations first imperfect draft that I sometimes just move in to stay there… rhetorical, spelling, grammar, mechanics be damn, nothing in life is that perfect. I don’t need tailor made, I need someone/something to fit well enough that it becomes fashionable for me to wear well. I don’t need to pretend to know everything and I resist pontificating those things I’m well versed in. I'm just a simple romantic at heart waiting on a perfect storm to completely sweep over me like a gentle fresh dawn. In the meantime, I write meaningful (to me) poetry from my heart and share it here. I tend to approach everyone a friend, until they demonstrate something different. I enjoy having creative exchanges with other like minds artist, writers. Thank you for reading, commenting and your visit. I appreciate all the feedback (good or bad) you care to offer. Feel free to reach out by email for private exchanges if you wish. View all posts by Poet of the Light
